This weekend, action continues in the 2024 MLS season on North American soil as clubs take to the field to fight for three all-important points in matchday three.
It is still too early to say which team is the favorite to take home the season’s championship trophy. However, emerging powerhouse Inter Miami is, for many, the strongest team in MLS. Meanwhile, others such as LAFC, Columbus Crew, Cincinnati, and St. Louis City are also there with a lot of desire to be protagonists again in the tournament.

Why Bet on the LAFC?
Undoubtedly, LAFC has not started the 2024 season in the best possible way. However, with only two matchdays played, the team can display its full potential over the months.
Currently, the Californian team is in 7th place in the Western Conference, with a record of one win and one loss. Nevertheless, they have a record of two goals for and four against, showing a surprisingly weak defense.
LAFC started the season with a 2-1 win over the Seattle Sounders but then lost 1-3 to Real Salt Lake.
Why Bet on the Sporting KC?
On the other hand, we have Sporting KC, one of the teams that want to be the protagonist in this season. However, they have also failed to start strongly.
It is also fair to mention that Kansas City has accumulated two draws in the two matches played, allowing them to say they are undefeated. The team needs their offense to be their spearhead at the start of the MLS, as we know how important it is for everyone to get points right now.
Sporting KC drew their first two games of the season 1-1 against the Houston Dynamo and Philadelphia Union.Â
Final Betting Analysis:Â LAFC vs. Sporting KC
In the last 11 matches between these two teams, LAFC dominates the series with six wins. On the other hand, Sporting KC accumulated four victories, while one match ended with a draw.
In addition, LAFC defeated Sporting KC the last time they met, on June 18, 2023, with a score of 2-1.
At Gambyl Exchange, we can see that there is a Moneyline that favors LAFC at 1.888, while Sporting KC starts at 4.04.
Both teams have shown positive and negative things so far, and neither is at its best. Whatever the case, LAFC has a powerful squad and comes from two finals in a row, so they’ll start recovering with a 2-1 win.
Look for a win in LAFC’s Moneyline. If you put $100 on them at 1.648, you’ll see a $64.8 win with a total payout of $164.8.
